Mathematics
Pi is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of any circle's circumference to its diameter, which is approximatelly 3.1415928, usually written as π.
In 2267, when the entity Redjac took control of the computer of the USS Enterprise, Spock forced it out with a Class-A compulsory directive to compute pi to the last digit - a task that it could never complete. (TOS: "Wolf in the Fold")
Data , who was sharing amusing anecdotes with Lwaxana Troi and Jean-Luc Picard in late 2365, explained how he once used the square root of pi and multiplied it by to accurately calculate the distance between the Omicron system and and the Crab Nebula. (TNG: "Manhunt")
